BBL?

Brasilian Butt Lift according to my girlfriend.

 

[GKJ]

Blair Davenport f***ing lost? WTF?

 

[GKJ]

Not sure I like the chances for DIY having a long title reign

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Jacob Fatu should have been a singles star away from the Bloodline, holy hell that dude can freaking go.

 

[GKJ]

Well

The got their asses kicked

 

[Sheppy]

Broken record, but Cody Rhodes is so f***ing lame.

She is an impossibly gorgeous woman. WWE is overloaded with baddies

La Primera es aquí

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

I like that they're not changing everyone's name in the post-Vince era.

 

[GKJ]

Going to NXT because reasons.

Going to NXT because reasons.

Because easier to get climatized while learning the language. Asuka started there too.

Gunther doesn't really need to be an A+ promo to be a condescending dick champion.

You can easily give him less mic time and more TV defenses and he'll still make that belt look great.

Basically his entire IC title run. He was head and shoulders above everybody and barely spoke a word. The entrance had a level of prestige to it, he's a mean looking dude, and beats the piss out of everybody. No promo necessary.

She doesn't need to learn the language..stick her with a mouth piece like Zelina and she doesn't need any NXT.This woman is a world class wrestler over many promotions,not some rookie

 

[GKJ]

Steph don’t need to be in NXT to learn English, she was in different countries wrestling women speaking different languages all the time. Half of America speaks Spanish anyways

Why do people want to see a repeat of his IC title run with a different belt? It was a great run, historic in length. But it's time for his character to evolve.

Make him an anti-hero babyface that when he appears, you know someone is about to get their ass whooped. Ditch Kaiser and ditch the long-winded promos. Make his appearances mean something. Let his ass kicking do the talking.

Going right back to where he was entering WM 40, just now with a different belt, sounds painfully boring.

She needs an interpretes for English interviews. She's got work to do with it.

Neither was Asuka. She flourished in NXT, left it undefeated. Giulia is starting in NXT and those two will likely clash there. Ya'll are making this a bigger issue than it is because you're impatient.

Not everyone who "needs" to learn English needs to go to NXT first.

The idea of every potential signing the WWE makes having to go to NXT first needs to stop.

Why?

 

[GKJ]

Asuka needed to go to NXT because Paul Levesque needed to protect her from Vince, and also he lost all of his women except for Bayley.

And he was right, Vince didn’t know what to do with her.

 

[Sheppy]

Why?

Because they don't?

 

[Jussi]

Because they don't?

Need a better reason. I mean it's not like it hasn't worked out in the past. Like with Asuka and Iyo.

Sure. When the Womens NXT division didn't have a ton of depth. They gave Asuka a huge run in NXT as a beast, which was fine. She would have also been fine if she just went to the main roster. Her english hasn't progressed much since her debut to now. She literally doesn't say anything in english.

You'd argue with a ham sandwich, wouldn't you?

Kayfabe. She does speak it better if you've watched any of her videos on her Youtube channel. My point wasn't all about English skill but in general about NXT not harming any of the foreign signees.
